cisrs campaign
oca companies & bilfinger salamis refuse to pay for cisrs renewal

Update

CISRS Collective Grievances have now been submitted to Stork, Cape and Bilfinger Management

Unite has now written to Stork, Cape and Bilfinger raising large collective grievances due to the employers’ refusal to meet the costs associated with CISRS CPD and card renewal.
Hundreds of Offshore Scaffolders have stood up and said: CISRS CPD is mandatory, HSE endorsed, H&S training. It is unacceptable that the employer requires Offshore Scaffolders to hold a valid CISRS card while refusing to pay for the associated H&S and competency training.

No other trade is being treated this way and neither should Offshore Scaffolders.

OCA and Bilfinger Salamis confirm they will not pay for CISRS Recertification
The OCA and Bilfinger Salamis are refusing to pay for CISRS Card Renewal. For full background info please see downloadable flyer opposite and below.

Unite Position on CISRS Card Renewal

• There should be just one accreditation for scaffolders working both on and offshore. This should be the CISRS Card,
• Therefore there should be no formal dispensation for offshore companies and the offshore oil and gas industry,
• That it is the employers’ responsibility to pay the costs of this essential industry health & safety training in full.

In short Unite is fighting to secure the same terms as are in the NAECI agreement as stated on Page 3 of the flyer (see opposite and below 

Next Steps
Unite have opened formal dispute procedures with the OCA and Bilfinger Salamis and we are now preparing for an industrial action ballot on this issue.
To help Unite prepare we are asking all of our members to fill out a survey to ensure our membership records are accurate and up to date. This is also a chance for you to give us your personal views on this important subject.
It is vital that you take five minutes to fill out a survey. Also, please share this flyer and the survey link with as many of your colleagues as possible.
